Looks like the vga-toogle funtion doesn't know anything about XAUTHORITY then because it is started in a subshell. Cause that's exactly why there was/is the notify call before the vga-toggle in hotkey.sh > Perhaps the XAUTHORITY dance in hotkey.sh should be abstracted out > into a library sourced by both scripts?

That's sad but there is currently no sane way to do this. Look at #462954 for example to see another example of a problem detecting the x session this way. Ideally X should provide a sane way to get it but we don't know of any yet.
